Topic: [SOLVED] v1.6.9 Profile Avatar Upload fails

[GrantK]

Hi
my install of Milbew 1.6.9 works perfectly and has been active for over a month
Just now I decided to add my avatar and failed.

On choosing avatar 90*90px clicking save I am returned with the all too well known

• broken image icon.

Haven't been able to upload an avatar in any image format successfully.

Any ideas?

There are no such error message in Mibew Messenger 1.6.9. Please, provide the exact message you've got.

lol @ that

sorry the message was meant to be [ x ] being the broken image sign, not realizing it was a short code

the exact error message is

"
cannot load avatar
"
fronted with the broken image icon

Yeah didn't see that thread, thanks.

Anyways, tried setting /images/avatar to 755 didn't work
but then tried setting /images to 755 and that did the trick

thanks for your help
